Download Arctic on the AppStore!

I am thrilled to announce that Arctic is now available on the AppStore! Looking back, it's amazing to see how much progress Arctic has made in the last six months. Initially, I began working on Arctic as a personal project to fill the void after leaving Reddit during the API fiasco. I had no intention of releasing it publicly. Now, I have a fully-featured Lemmy client, a fantastic group of beta testers on TestFlight, and an official release on the AppStore.

However, the journey isn't over yet. I have many exciting plans for Arctic, and this is just a significant milestone. Going forward, I plan to release more targeted updates on TestFlight and create a public roadmap for AppStore releases.

I would like to thank everyone who was involved with Arctic's TestFlight for all the valuable feedback and suggestions that have helped shape Arctic!

No problem at all. This is exactly the kind of feedback in need. I have a few moderators in the TestFlight that have given really helpful feedback, but I only moderator the Arctic community which doesn’t require much interaction. I definitely like the idea of moving the mod-zone to the inbox tab as that is a way more appropriate spot for it, and I will have it update the inbox unread badge as well.

If you want to join the TestFlight I could probably have these suggestions added in the next day or two.

i’ve had the testflight build since early on, but haven’t paid much attention to this app because i can’t get the post-list ui to look the way i prefer in other apps. 😅

my community doesn’t need much moderation either, which means if i don’t check the website often enough i’ll completely miss a few reports because there haven’t been any in a month and my instance admin has to be annoyed by them.

That’s fare, I’m currently working on an update to add more customization options to the post feed cells, and improve the layout of compact styles. If you have any suggestions I’m happy hear them.

That’s a good point, I just really hadn’t received the feedback I needed to improve the mod tools ui until now. Thanks for the suggestions!

Wondering, how hard would it be to implement the ability to adjust post title font to be larger/smaller than post body font on the feed?

[–] CreatureSurvive@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This would be quite simple to add. The issue I have with it is that most of the app is heavily text based, and it would be difficult to add font sizing support for individual locations.

What I have thought about was font settings for different font styles. All of the fonts in Arctic follow The iOS design guidelines, so it would be fairly easy to add options to customize the size of the 8 different font sizes used in arctic.

In the mean time, as that may take some time to implement, I might add an option for increase headline size for enlarging just headline text.

[–] orangeNgreen@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I appreciate the answer! There’s something about the larger headline/title font that helps me focus better. But it’s not a make or break type of feature for me. Enjoying Arctic, regardless.
